Street View Update March 08

It’s been just over a month since Google added 12 new US cities to Street View, and yesterday we got new imagery in another 13 cities, and interestingly, a US national park! Here’s some of the highlights, including links straight there:

I live in Albuquerque and it’s great to see my city on there! I was surprised at the extent of the coverage — they also included Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, and a lot of the distant small towns away from the metro area. Curiously, there are plenty of streets right in the heart of ABQ that didn’t get captured, like mine for instance. I have to wonder how some entire centrally-located neighborhoods were overlooked.

When are these people gonna drive by my house???? That’s so irritating, they have imagery for a bunch of shacks in the middle of nowhere Alaska and yet they don’t have a picture of my house in suburban Chicago.

Yay! I’m so excited for the Cleveland street views because I can see the house I grew up in (which my grandmother still lives in)! That’s really cool.
